And here’s my entry:

The Heart of the Heart

Once there was a little heart.

It had two hills on the top.

It had a pointy point on the bottom.

But…

The heart of the heart was empty.

Sheer.

See-through.

No one wanted a blank heart.

Especially not on Valentine’s Day.

Hearts were supposed to be red. Pink on occasion. Definitely colorful.
